Lemme share something with you people.

Eggs are still stupid cheap, today. However, there are too many greedy people between the producer and people that need them for eating.

My everyday job has me go around to places most will not go and one day I discovered an egg farm, somewhat off the beaten path, that sells directly. Only requirement is that they sell a minimum of thirty eggs (a tray).

I made a few questions and now I'm bringing eggs weekly from there, invoiced to me by weight. No size distinction but most eggs are L size. Roughly speaking, each egg is 0,1667€, with VAT already included. The same egg in supermarkets is sold anywhere between 6 to 11 cents more expensive.

That's too much.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Eggs in the supermarket near me are anywhere from $4.99 to $12.99 for 12.

Eggs from farmers near me are $4 for 12.

Easy to guess where I buy my eggs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

The 4.99 at the supermarket because it's not worth the extra time to swing by the farmers?

Assuming they mean win.

Raid the grocery store dumpster for expired eggs, even better and free

[–] sunbrrnslapper 7 points 1 day ago

Not a totally terrible idea if you want the eggs for vandalism.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You guys don't throw cow manure at your traitorous neighbour's freshly white washed house walls?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I haven't before, but I might now. There's plenty of dairies around here...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cow manure is also too expensive for that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

What do you mean? It comes free with the cow.

Wow, this comment thread is like I'm back in reddit! Does this mean lemmy's made the big time, that now we're getting disinformation and bots? 🤩

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

Bots are much easier on Lemmy compared to Reddit, so I'm surprised we don't see a huge number of them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Already have both

Just saw $6.99 eggs today.

[–] Cheems 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you're getting fancy eggs. The mass produced eggs are like $2.99.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In a high cost-of-living area too?

$7.42 at Wal-Mart in Northern California omg wtf (that’s for the fake cage free, that discount store doesn’t even have the pasture raised at all)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I‘m glad Austria banned battery cage systems in 2009 and the EU banned it in 2012. Also, Austria banned cages in 2020 and regulated the amount of animals depending on the space of the stable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Good! Do you know which chickens get the most space, at minimum? California’s hens may get more than most but it’s still not enough. Even before recent price increases, it would probably take about 10 bucks to get organic pasture raised that you could feel reasonably good about.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

There’s farmers who sell "roaming chicken eggs" for ~ 65 cents a piece; they also don’t kill the male chicks and let them be with the herd. Also one of their "gimmick" is that they have a modified trailer and let the chickens roam different areas.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Love it!!! I’d buy those all day!

Consuming animal products isn’t perfect but we still gotta do the best we can :)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I buy from a Mennonite farmer.
$3/doz, often laid same day....CAD...sure sucks to be me, egg-wise.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Unwashed eggs?!? Gross

Just kidding, I'm actually extremely jealous, those eggs taste so much better (and are probably way safer at this point)

[–] Delphia 5 points 2 days ago

But fuck can they run...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

each? were they golden?

[–] BlackPenguins 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

They're $3 in Wegmans. You need a better egg guy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's 3 hours to the nearest Wegman's.

[–] BlackPenguins 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or Walmart. Really if you are paying for $6 eggs it's by choice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I said I saw, not buy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

What's your location?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 day ago
